You may kid, but this is unironically how multibillion-dollar AI companies fix their code now.

Or they can do it more slowly, more insidiously, so that people on the internet will say, “oh it’s just one snap, just remove it, no big deal.” Turn the heat up slowly, always be not quite as bad as Microsoft.

Thank you for adding this clarification. It will help people that are interested in poisoning AIbots scraping their website, and people who want to frustrate coders who use poor tooling

Sam Altman is the face of OpenAI. He is responsible for misrepresenting the product he sells. If you’re going to sling blame around, then you had better observe the words of Sam Altman.

The thing that I think will be most impactful on that five to ten year timeframe is AI will actually discover new science.

This sick man is taken seriously in mainstream media and politics, and it’s no exaggeration to say he has blood on his hands.

Coding for fun is fine. Not everything has to be optimized.

Edit: Oh it’s you. The weird AI guy.

I can’t wait for crypto mining to be the (ear)bleeding edge once again.

AI avatar man wants you to be afraid: “sleeper agents”! “backdoors”! “poisoned documents”! Terrifying!

The reality: AI companies are remaking SEO but worse. The author had to lie on Wikipedia to get his lie believed, and then complained that Wikipedia didn’t have protections in place for something he didn’t do in his “experiment.”

I love how Microsoft promised to cut down on mandatory updates with K2, and then decided to push several more months’ worth of mandatory, massive, device-breaking updates before K2 even starts. They shouldn’t have made the announcement until they were ready to commit.

Edit: the K2 promise was March 20.

The K2 results are “any day now.” Allegedly some people can already permanently disable keep re-pausing Windows updates. So little so late.

The message to Kenyan workers from Facebook is clear: deal with traumatizing content quietly, or lose your low-paying job.

Article claims leftists aren’t engaging with AI in a meaningful way.

It lists people and groups it disagrees with, and then… Doesn’t engage with those disagreements in a meaningful way.

AI content detectors seem to have very different opinions about the article.

But thank you for bringing this site to my attention. It appears terrible.

The website you linked appears to be slop itself. Insubstantive, rambling, exhibiting all the hallmarks of slop (“it’s not X, EMDASH, it’s Y”). And it’s apparently pro AI (read: pro slop), Complaining that people dare “judge origin, not quality.”

In three consecutive sentences, Slopsite insists AI can “produce useful, substantive content when prompted well”, regurgitates a slop phrase (“about X not Y” style), and then gets weirdly misanthropic (“Humans write slop too”).

But okay, let’s listen to them and see it judge content not quality:

Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B.

Low slop.

Every word a pattern. Every pattern an algorithm. Every algorithm a meaning.

Not slop. 0/20 (perfect) score on “vocabulary diversity”.

This post reeks of AI generated text.

The zombie isn’t open source. It’s the way you’ve been consuming it for the last twenty years.

Putting makeup on the zombie while it’s peeing all over the place isn’t a security strategy. It’s just a longer, sadder, grosser goodbye.

March isn’t when the bite happened. It’s when the smell finally became impossible to ignore.

I’m not completely sure what I just read, and I wasn’t looking for an extra reason to hate Microsoft, but it was well written, and I hate Microsoft more than ever. (Seriously, it’s a good piece. And neither of the title nor anything I could say about it here would do it justice.)

Remember the good old days when Windows would ship thoughtfully coded tools that could be attributed to people who were proud of their work?

Thanks for the warning OP

It’s interesting what people expect of Proton Mail.

It’s quite mundane actually: people expect what they advertise on their front page.

Their advertising is a stretch at the best of times, and (as seen on my first link) so terrible that it needs to be removed at other times.

Proton has activists’ identities at stake, of course they’re doing their best to defend them
